Do’s and Don’ts of Interlock Use
3.1
Purpose
4.1
Do’s
The Dräger Interlock XT allows you to start your vehicle once
you provide a breath sample below the set limit for your
instrument. If the alcohol content of your breath exceeds the
allowed limits your car will not start.
3.2
Service
The Interlock will warn you in advance when your next service
deadline is approaching. If you do not have your device
serviced as scheduled the unit will lock out and you will be
unable to start your vehicle.
3.3
Violations
A violation is an event recorded in the Interlock device when it
is not used correctly, a test is ignored, the device is disconnected, or an attempt is made to circumvent a test or tamper with
the device. Violations are recorded and reported to your monitoring agency.
DO keep the unit clean and dry at all times.
DO use a clean, dry mouthpiece when providing breath tests.
DO contact your Service Provider with any questions or
concerns.
!
4.2
CAUTION
Leave the tamper-evident label in place. Any attempt
to remove the label is a violation!
Don’ts
DO NOT use or consume any product other than water within
15 minutes of using the device.
DO NOT place the handset on the vehicle’s floor while driving.
If the device is not secured it may interfere with the pedals and
the safe operation of the vehicle.
DO NOT use the handset while driving if you are at all unsure
about your safety. If you are asked for a breath test while driving Dräger recommends that you pull over before taking the
breath test.
DO NOT attempt to disable the handset or fail to provide a random retest. This will shorten the service interval and these actions are recorded in memory.
DO NOT tamper with, abuse, misuse, and/or neglect the Interlock device. Tampering with the device may be a violation of
the law and result in fines and/or incarceration.

Dräger Interlock XT User Manual V3.0 2013
CAUTION
To ensure a valid breath test you must abstain from
eating, drinking any fluids (except water), or smoking
for at least 15 minutes prior to providing an initial
breath test. As the Interlock may require a random retest while you are driving you should not eat, drink (except water), or smoke while driving your vehicle.

minutes of using the device.
5.2
Turning on the System
To turn the system on:
1. Insert a clean, dry mouthpiece into the Interlock device as
shown in Figure 1 below.
Test Results
Test Passed: If the breath sample is below the set-point the
message “Test Passed” will appear (Figure 3) and the green
light on the left side of the device will light up. Turn the key to
start your vehicle.
Test Failed: If the breath sample is above the set-point the
message “Test Failed” will appear (Figure 4) and the red light
on the right side of the device will light up. The vehicle will not
start.
2. Insert the key into the ignition switch.
3. Turn key to the on position (usually two clicks).
4. The Interlock will show “Warming up - PLEASE WAIT” on

5. When the Interlock is ready for the breath sample it will display “Ready for Test - PLEASE BLOW” on the screen as
shown in Figure 2 and the yellow light on the left side of the
device will flash repeatedly.
6. Take a few normal, even breaths.
7. Take a deep breath and put your lips around the mouthpiece.
8. Provide a steady blow into the mouthpiece by exhaling normally. As you blow into the Interlock a tone will sound. This
means you are blowing correctly. Do not stop.

 The device may go into temporary lockout.
 If the alcohol content of your breath is very high the temporary lockout may be longer.

“Temporary Lockout” period.
6
Random Retest
6.1
What is a Random Retest?
To make sure the user stays sober while driving the Interlock
requires you to take additional tests while you drive. You must
give additional breath tests at random intervals - perhaps
several times before you turn off your vehicle.
 When the Interlock prompts for Retest you will hear a beep
and the yellow light will flash.
 The Interlock display will read “Retest required - PLEASE
BLOW”.
 You will have several minutes to give the test.
 Do not turn off the vehicle to avoid the retest. This will be
recorded as a violation.
The breath sample is given in the same way as the original
test.
6.2
Questions about Random Retests
What happens if I do not hear the retest prompt?
The Interlock XT will start beeping an audible tone
continuously to alert you. Stop the tone by pushing the OK
button and taking the test.
What happens if I do not take the retest in time?
5.5
Breath Test Messages
If you hear beeping or see a red light flash during a test, stop
and look at the display. The displayed message will tell you
what went wrong and you can retake the test.
Blow Longer:
 Means you did not blow long enough.
 Press the OK button and the Interlock will prepare to test
again.
 Take the test again and blow until the buzzer sounds.
Blow Stronger:
Means you did not blow hard enough.
 Press the OK button and the Interlock will prepare to test
again.
 Take the test again and blow a little harder.

Suck after Blow:
 Means that you did not do the suck back correctly.
 Press the OK button and the Interlock will prepare to test
again.
 Take the test again and perform a sharp suck-back when
the tone stops. Suck until a beep sounds.
Dräger Interlock XT User Manual V3.0 2013
The message “Retest Violation” appears on the display, the
tone will beep continuously, and the vehicle’s horn may honk
and/or the parking lights may flash. You must turn off the
vehicle to deactivate the horn and lights. The vehicle will not
shut down while you are driving.
What happens if I fail the retest?
Make sure your mouth and vehicle are free of alcohol vapors
and smoke. If the alcohol level was above the set-point the
device may go into the Temporary Lockout mode. If this
happens pull over and turn off the engine. Wait for the time to
count down and when prompted to do so, provide a breath
sample.
ii
Notice
You have several minutes to take the Retest. Dräger
recommends that you pull over to the side of the road
when it is safe to do so to take the retest. Do not turn
off the engine while the Interlock is asking you to take
a retest.

Disconnecting the Handset
CAUTION

If you are instructed to disconnect the Interlock:
 When the vehicle is off unplug the modular cable located at
the bottom of the handset by pressing down on the lever
and gently pulling the cord out of the handset.
 In extreme temperatures (hot or cold) the Interlock start-up
procedure will take longer. To avoid this disconnect the Interlock and store it in a room-temperature location.
